The assistant was in a difficult position. He wanted to say something, but instead turned and left.
At this moment, he lacked the courage to say another word to Robin.
He promptly contacted Obsidian Corporation, the response was blunt and to the point.
"I'm sorry, our CEO does not meet with anyone," came the response.
"The man who wants to meet him is the chairman of the Harper Group."
The sound on the other end of the telephone was a young woman's sweet voice. "I'm sorry, our CEO does not meet with anyone."d2
Even through the telephone, he could imagine that the woman was speaking with a sweet and charming smile on her face, but the words she said felt like a punch landing on cotton.
Knowing further questioning would be fruitless, the assistant finally hung up.
On the other end, the receptionist immediately relayed the message to Damon.
Damon remained expressionless, simply acknowledging with a "noted" and nothing more. This reaction was not unexpected. The CEO never met anyone, and that had become an unwritten rule. Even the receptionists had developed a tacit right to handle any appointment inquiries for the CEO.
Upon receiving the refusal, the assistant immediately reported back to Robin.
"Keep trying," Robin insisted.
Given the current situation, it was necessary for him to meet with this mysterious guy from Obsidian Corporation. He needed to understand why the Harper family was being targeted.
He had no personal desire for conflict. If possible, establishing a partnership for joint development could be beneficial for the corporation. As long as the Harper family existed and was progressing in a positive direction, he didn't actually care much about being overshadowed like his father did. Especially given his current situation, he could not afford such ambitions. The priority was to consolidate his own foundation.
The assistant hesitated, "Mr. Robin, Obsidian has an unwritten rule that the CEO can refuse to meet anyone without reason. Otherwise, there would have been some news about him in the industry over the years."
Over the years, such a high-profile figure had remained elusive and enigmatic, leaving everyone at their wits' end.
Robin frowned, insisting coldly, "Keep trying. I have to see him."
The assistant paused for a moment, finally nodding in agreement. "Understood."
